#not since paul left

[theicarusconstellation]

when i say “sad boy/girl hours” i mean i’m thinking about alia atreides at sixteen fucking years old saying,

“i wish i could burn this thing out of me…but i’m sister to an emperor who is worshipped as a god. people fear me. i never wanted to be feared. i don’t want to be part of history; i just want to be loved. and love.”

During the rumble Darry stops fighting for a second because all the sudden very vivid memories of him holding Paul just like he is now while they slept together at those sleepovers flash through his head and Paul lands a really good punch methinks maybe

i became slightly obsessed with the regeneration scene in the movie and specifically the whole sequence with the 8 reflections and broken mirrors everywhere so i did all this abt it

Amane's birthday flower tweet

(tweet links here)

Happy Birthday to everyone born today. Today is also Amane Momose from #MILGRAM's birthday. Her birth flower is Passiflora caerulea (tokeisou/Blue Passion Flower). The name "Passion flower" [tl note: passion as in "the passion/suffering of Christ, not enthusiasm] was used by Christian missionaries, it comes from the stamen's resemblence to the Crucifixion of Christ, with the 10 petals representing 10 Apostles. The passion flower's hanakotoba are "Faith", "Sacred Love" as well as "Religious fervour". Just so you know, this is simply an annecdote about the flower, it's not directly related to Amane's origins. Hanatokoba is purely allegorical. Simply put, just because the blue passion flower has this kind of backstory and hanakotoba, it doesn't mean Amane's religion is the same. Just added this supplement in case this is the first time you've had a run in with the Hanakotoba Guy and found it hard to understand. [Note: 花言葉おじさ��� Hanakotoba ojisan aka Hanakotoba Guy/Old Man Hanakotoba/Mr Hanakotoba is Yamanaka's nickname for himself when he does these things, he also used the term in Mikoto's birthday tweet]

本日お誕生日の方おめでとうございます。 #ミルグラム では桃瀬遍の誕生日でもあります。 誕生花はトケイソウ。十字架にかけられたキリストに似た雄しべと10人の使徒に見える花弁から別名「受難の花」と呼ばれ、キリスト教の布教に利用されました。花言葉は『信仰』『聖なる愛』そして『宗教的熱情』。 ちなみにこの花に関してのエピソードなだけで、本人の出自とは直接関係ありません。花言葉はあくまで寓意です。 噛み砕いてわかりやすく言うと、トケイソウってお花にそういうエピソードと花言葉��あるってだけでアマネの信教がそうだって話じゃないよってことね。花言葉おじさんと邂逅するのが初めてだとわかりづらいだろうなと思って補足。

look. i love louis as a character. what i don't like is that devil's minion is being made about louis. "armand traps daniel in sanfran because he's pissed that louis enjoyed hanging out with him" making daniel a loumand punching bag. at least claudia being the shitty marriage band-aid was in the book. devil's minion was After armand left louis. armand followed daniel around to learn how to integrate in the real world

I wanna make more sense of Petscop just from like. my brain and not looking things up and trying to see what I can form. But I do think it's a really obtuse reading of it to assert that Paul and Care and "Pall" are not the same person. But I'm trying to entertain the thought just to look at it from another angle

Letters from Watson: The Greek Interpreter

Part 3: The fun bits

As an older sibling I do in fact find the idea of letting myself into my baby brother's apartment to jump scare him amusing.

Watson's suggestion of picking up Mr. Melas is once again an example of forward planning that does not seem to occur to either Holmes brother. It's just as well that he's headed there in his capacity as a doctor also.

That constantly laughing man gives me huge Joker vibes

Also this is literally the only time I can remember them mentioning a warrant when they deal with Scotland Yard, which is usually either already on site for a death or something they can coordinate more than a few minutes in advance.

Gregson returns, and is remarkably chill about Holmes' deductions AND the breaking and entering.

A life preserver in this context is a small weapon like a weighted baton or blackjack, NOT a flotation device.

Although it's not terribly clear, the plan appears to have been leaving Melas and Kratides to die of carbon monoxide poisoning from whatever smoky thing was burning in the brazier. Though with the remark about not striking a match it also seems as if the gas was perhaps on, unlit, which can also suffocate you.

When it comes to Sophy stabbing Latimer and Kemp to death, good for her. I imagine that you fall out of love VERY quickly when you discover that your lover is trying to starve your brother to death.

personally I think it's an improvement that we've evolved enough to care about the morals and personal views of the celebrities. I'd take people asking genuinely if so & so is problematic or has done anything questionable over people not caring at all. Indifference isn't a good when it comes to these influential people, especially because their views will be broadcast to a much larger audience regardless. It's a good thing to question the intentions of the richer celebrity folk in our world and to not trust in them blindly.

I have a confession. I do not care for the soc boys. I'm sure they have very interesting character traits and lore the actors and fandom have come up with and that is so fun and great and I know none of it and I am perfectly content with that. Shout out to all my mutuals who love the soc boys I hope you are having fun with your Ken dolls but I will not be joining you. keep slaying.

me everytime i listen to paul by cavetown:

[amphitritebaby]

still watching dune 2 not only is it an extremely long movie my internet is shit so it keeps pausing every 3 seconds. anyway all theyre talking about is bloodlines. like boo hoo ur harkkonen, is ur father not of house atreides? were you not able to open the room of warheads designated only for your bloodline? like. who care. tbh like yeah ig "ohh some of my family are brutal colonizers" is that not literally what you were there to do in the first movie. and now its like oh well actually no i am going to rule. called himself the duke of arrakis bitch since when. i thought he was gonna stay behind in the north and maybe send one of the warheads towards the harkkonen base/the spice fields and like save the day but no he decides in like. half a second to go south and drink the poison. and now hes having more visions of his unborn sister like okay man yeah. this seems like a great time for you to be in a position of power. on a planet you are not from and originally planned to colonize okay man uh huh.

[foxgloveinspace]

I finally watched dune part 2.

I have some oddly mixed feelings about but I think I liked it???

(I put all my thoughts in the tags for some reason and I’m not rewriting them)

[nullen-void]

For a long time I wondered if the final TF2 comic would ever come out. For a longer time I wondered if I wanted it to. They built it up so much, hyped the Administrator's big plan so high, and then waited so long, could they possibly ever meet expectations?

I don't know if what they did was what they originally planned, or if there even was a plan, but I think they knocked it out of the park. It feels... right.

And it cemented the Administrator as one of the most terrifying villains in history. But before I discuss that, SPOILERS:

It was all pointless. None of it ever mattered.

The Gravel Wars, the fighting, the Australium, the deaths, the Classic Mercs, none of it mattered at all. Because Helen or whatever her name is just an addict getting her fix.

She kept a man alive for near enough two hundred years, trapped in the moment just before death by a thousand diseases, because she dedicated her life so thoroughly to ending him that when he finally croaked, she had nothing left. So she brought him back to suffer more. And then extended her OWN life so she could keep making him suffer.

And she doesn't even remember why. She was a child when Zepheniah Mann killed her parents, and she's something like a hundred and seventy years old now. It's been three normal lifetimes since then, and she's forgotten. But she never forgot the hate.

She sabotaged two infant's futures by raising them to be bafoons just to hurt their father. She orchestrated a forever war to spite a single man. She was prepared to keep this going until the heat death of the universe.

Do you know what would have happened if Pauling had lost her nerve and admitted they found a new stash of magic metal? With all three Mann brothers dead, she probably would have gone after Olivia. The last Mann standing, and a girl who at the time was only seven and had barely any connection to the Mann legacy at all, and probably didn't know her grandfather's name! And Helen would have gone after her and ruined her life just to make Zepheniah watch as yet another generation of Mann was ruined.

What a pointless, misspent life. What a waste of time. What an ending.

It makes what comes next all the greater. Scout and Soldier are dads with happy children, Spy still can't admit their relation but gets to be part of his grandkids' lives and he and Jeremy trust each other enough that Scout doesn't blink when he takes his mask off. Team Fortress is happy. They moved on. Found new lives.

Helen couldn't. She had all the time in the world and then some, and she just couldn't move on.

What a waste.
